  Processing (programming language) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is "a programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) built for the electronic arts and visual design communities", which aims to teach the basics of computer programming in a visual context, and to serve as the foundation for electronic sketchbooks.
Processing has spawned another project, Wiring, which uses the Processing IDE together with a simplified version of the C programming language as a way to teach artists how to program microcontrollers.
Processing's 'core' libraries, the code that is included in exported applications and applets, is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, allowing the programmer to release their original code with their license of choice.

 Programming Language - MSN Encarta
Programming Language, in computer science, artificial language used to write a sequence of instructions (a computer program) that can be run by a computer.
For instance, programming languages such as Fortran and COBOL were written to solve certain general types of programming problems—Fortran for scientific applications, and COBOL for business applications.
Assembly languages are intermediate languages that are very close to machine language and do not have the level of linguistic sophistication exhibited by other high-level languages, but must still be translated into machine language.

 Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Programming languages, like human languages, are defined through the use of syntactic and semantic rules, to determine structure and meaning respectively.
Programming languages are used to facilitate communication about the task of organizing and manipulating information, and to express algorithms precisely.
Programming language syntax is usually defined using a combination of regular expressions (for lexical structure) and Backus-Naur Form (for grammatical structure).

 programming language. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
All computers operate by following machine language programs, a long sequence of instructions called machine code that is addressed to the hardware of the computer and is written in binary notation (see numeration), which uses only the digits 1 and 0.
PL/1 [Programming Language 1], developed in the late 1960s by the IBM Corp., and ADA [for Ada Augusta, countess of Lovelace, biographer of Charles Babbage], developed in 1981 by the U.S. Dept. of Defense, are designed for both business and scientific use.
With some languages, such as C or Pascal, the program is turned into a separate machine language program by a compiler, which functions much as an assembler does.

 Levels of Programming Languages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Low-level languages have the advantage that they can be written to take advantage of any peculiarities in the architecture of the central processing unit (CPU) which is the "brain" of any computer.
Therefore, low-level programming is typically used only for very small programs, or for segments of code that are highly critical and must run as efficiently as possible.
As with assembly-language programs, updating or correcting a compiled program requires that the original (source) program be modified appropriately and then recompiled to form a new machine-language (object) program.

 What is programming language? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Assembly languages are similar to machine languages, but they are much easier to program in because they allow a programmer to substitute names for numbers.
For example, FORTRAN is a particularly good language for processing numerical data, but it does not lend itself very well to organizing large programs.
The choice of which language to use depends on the type of computer the program is to run on, what sort of program it is, and the expertise of the programmer.

 Amazon.com: Programming Language Pragmatics: Books: Michael L. Scott   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Unlike natural language semantics, which bleeds out in history and sociology, programming language semantics is coeval with the "way the compiler works" in the sense of its specification, captured NOT in Programming Languages for Dummies BUT INSTEAD in the specifications document for the language.
Good program design is based on knowing how the compiler "works" in the sense of understanding the language contract, which in C forces while evaluation by reference but in Visual Basic forces it by value.
At a time when programming languages are proliferating at an amazing rate, it is essential you know how to compare the various aspects of different languages and choose the one most suitable for your work.

 Popular Programming Language Timelines Tutorials Extensions
Assembly language is very flexible and powerful; anything that the hardware of the computer is capable of doing can be done in assembly.
This language became so popular in the early 1960s that other vendors started to produce their own versions and this led to a growing divergence of dialects (by 1963 there were 40 different compilers).
Until the early 1980s, although compilers existed for a variety of machine architectures and operating systems, the language was almost exclusively associated with Unix; more recently, its use has spread much more widely, and today it is among the languages most commonly used throughout the computer industry.

 Restricted Programming Language
Nevertheless, these languages are targeted for programmers, and do not deny features to programmers on the ground that programmers, or others looking at the program code, would be too stupid to understand those features.
Just to make it clear, it is not a feature of the language or the lack thereof that makes the language "restricted." It's actually the motivation of the language designers when they chose to include or omit a feature.
A restricted programming language is any language whose designers thought that programmers would be too stupid to do X, or refrain from doing Y, and that therefore the language should force them to do X and to refrain from doing Y. See BondageAndDisciplineLanguage.

Applications of NLP include machine translation of one human-language text to another; generation of human-language text such as fiction, manuals, and general descriptions; interfacing to other systems such as databases and robotic systems thus enabling the use of human-language type commands and queries; and understanding human-language text to provide a summary or to draw conclusions.
